I would say that most citizens do serve their country. Everyone who pays taxes serves their country. How do you think the military would exist if not for the tax payer who is largely overlooked and largely taken advantage of these days.
Why do you think this nation is great? It is because our forfathers engineered a free society where the principals of capitalism promoted competition and reward. Both our freedoms as well as the basic principals of capitalism have been stomped on to the point where our system doesn't work as it was meant to. What is many of your answers? Stomp on freedom more. I have had it with the "patriots" who are so busy being "patriotic", that they step on the very principals that our grandfathers fought to protect! Freedom! That's what it's about folks!
What was the last military conflict that we were involved in that was directly about protecting our country from a real threat? Is it Afghanastan? Is it the war in Iraq? Was it the first war in Iraq? How about Vietnam? That covers 50 years or so. If we spent more time worrying about our own country, and a little bit less time shipping our men and women all over the damn globe for reasons largely unclear, I would wager we would be doing significantly better. ****, we don't even bother to secure our very own borders and listen to how we are in Iraq and Afghanastan to protect our national security. Were we about to be invaded by Iraq or Afghanastan? No, they house terrorists. If we are so worried about terrorists, why is our border open to anyone who can skip across?
The last thing we need to do, is take away more freedom and give the government more control. I agree that there are improvements to be made. I disagree with the suggestion of how.
